GRAFTON – Craig Dauphinais will return to the Select Board, according to unofficial results from the Town Clerk’s office.

He edged incumbent Raymond Mead, 1,300 to 1,202, in the annual Town Election on Tuesday, May 21.

The School Committee will also see a new face, as Kristy Ann Kielbasinski nosed out incumbent Elizabeth Spinney, 1,124 to 1,118. Kielbasinski will join incumbent Laura Often, who was the top vote-getter with 1,364.

The other races were uncontested.

Robert Hassinger and Justin Wood were re-elected to the Planning Board; Douglas Bowman, Aaron Vandesteen and Christopher Beltz will serve another term on the Library Board of Trustees. Shawn McAvey was elected to the vacant seat on the Housing Authority.
